Because electronica is a style that functions effectively removed from the traditional guitar-drum-bass mold, enabling the creation and exploration of a whole new range of sounds, it becomes helpful to find distinctions: is it aggressive like drum 'n' bass and jungle, cartoonish like chiptunes and glitch, cerebral like IDM and trip-hop, or mellow like dream-pop and chillwave (which, ugh, not a fan of that word, either). Lobsana falls more on the latter end.

Anna Moore is the artist behind Lobsana, a project that began back in 2011 as more or less a lark.
